Description:
It doesn't get much better than this: the Sharp 25L-S180 offers a clear, bright picture and stereo-audio capability at an affordable price. This 25-inch television set is ready to deliver superior sound and video right out of the box. Setting up this TV is simple. Once you turn the 25L-S180 on, an on-screen menu asks whether you plan to use a broadcast antenna or cable connection. After you make your choice, the TV automatically begins to scan and store available programming selections. This auto-program feature made it easier for us to tune in to channels without having to click through stations filled with static. It's also clear how to connect devices such as a VCR, DVD player, or video-game system to the 25L-S180. The front-panel audio-video (AV) port is easy to access, but there is also a second AV port located in the back for a more discreet connection. The universal remote allows you to program your favorite TV stations into four categories. For example, a sports fan might want to program a button on the remote control that cycles only through sports networks, such as ESPN and Fox Sports. To achieve this, you begin by accessing the personal preference feature through the on-screen menu. You can select the channels you want on your custom button by entering in the station channel numbers you want into your personal preference list. Once you exit the menu, you can then cycle through your favorite channels with a single click on the remote control. We were inspired by the possibilities offered by this simple feature. After creating a sports-only channel button, we proceeded to create buttons that only played 24-hour news and movies. A parental control feature allows you to restrict TV viewing time for children (or couch potatoes). For example, the TV can be programmed to not receive programming during a specified time period of up to 10 hours. A four-digit secret code must be entered to change these settings, which should prevent your clever kids from sneaking a peek at late-night programming. Pros:
- Personalized programming makes finding your favorite shows simple
- Great picture and sound
- Parental control feature is simple to use
- Front AV input
